Toosii is a Syracuse-born, Raleigh-based rapper who dives deep into the emotions of the streets and losing your loved ones. Toosii has found success as he debuted on multiple Billboard charts, with praise from Genius, Uproxx, Fader, Lyrical Lemonade, Respect Magazine and many more. He joined 1824 on May 5th to speak on his journey with his upcoming mixtape, Thank You For Believing, which is guaranteed to be an instant hit.

Excerpt from Official Press Release from Universal Music Group:

“Naming him one of the “Rappers to Watch in 2021,”Complex observed, “Toosii can do everything, and if he keeps the momentum up from 2020, he seems primed to have his best year yet in 2021.”Spotify’s Rap Caviar, VEVO DSCVR, Amazon Music, Pandora Trendsetter, Audiomack, Tidal and others have also tipped him as an artist to watch. Label mate DaBaby has called Toosii “the hottest new emerging artist.” Placing Toosii on its list of “15 Hip-Hop & R&B Artists to Watch in 2021,” Billboard declared, “The Syracuse-born rapper has put out new music at a torrential pace since last year, including two new albums (one of which later received a deluxe treatment with seven additional songs), and an EP in the final days of 2020 just for good measure.”

Toosii also earned a spot on Uproxx’s list of rappers to watch out for and was featured in recent episodes of the publication’s “React Like You Know.” Propelled by his gift for drenching real lyrics in rich emotion, Toosii has proven himself to be one of rap’s most relatable rising stars. The Syracuse-born, Raleigh-based artist tells jarringly honest tales of street life and lost love, letting us follow along as he details his journey from a lost kid surrounded by tragedy to a national sensation full of promise. Toosii’s career has been percolating in North Carolina for years, but he found immediate, staggering success in February 2020 on the strength of Platinum Heart. The album hit No. 1on Billboard’s Heatseekers Albums chart and launched Toosii into the top 10 on Rolling Stone’s Breakthrough 25 chart.”

Toosii sites music as a coping mechanism. Admittedly, this forthcoming project is nothing like ones in the past, Toosii explains. In fact, physical CD sales (signed even!) have flooded out, as Toosii seeks to be close to his fans and feel familiar with them. Fan engagement is extremely important as an artist and he does not take it lightly. A freestyler by nature, Toosii sites Nipsey Hussle as a major influence, and while he’s thinking and creating, he makes sure to pray, envision his goals to keep himself grounded and focused.

When asked how Toosii switched it up during the pandemic, he cited that DaBaby explains that because he was signed DURING the pandemic, he feels “Pandemic Proof”, meaning if he can make it through this, he’s definitely got the longevity to survive.

Toosii quickly followed up those achievements with Poetic Pain in September 2020, which debuted in the top 20 on the Billboard 200. Next came a string of singles that bolstered his reputation as one of the most sought-after up and coming artists in the industry as it stands today. He’s earned a devoted audience, including 2.8million Instagram followers. In 2020, Toosii collaborated with DaBaby, Lil Durk, Summer Walker, Wiz Khalifa, Queen Naija, Hotboii, Amine, Stunna 4 VegasandPhora.”
